May 6, 2015Great tv show, very quick and smart, not for everybody at all, but if you are open-minded creature you won't miss the short jokes, the quick answers; in the other hand, the show uses quite well the nowadays culture ( or the no-culture, it's up to you the label).
The first chapter is one of the best first chap of series that i' ve seen in long time.

Cucumber is the toughest series to take, but it’s also the most ambitious--and, at its heights, it is emotionally wrenching and acridly funny, an audacious and original expression of Davies’s challenging, often critical ideas about gay male identity.
-
The plot complications occasionally feel forced, and Henry’s overwhelming dyspepsia sometimes comes off as meanspirited and a little mystifying (through two episodes, anyway). But Mr. Davies, as “Doctor Who” fans know, has perfected a style of propulsive, almost manic comic dialogue with an undercoating of melancholy, and there are plenty of hilarious and touching moments in Cucumber.

It expands beautifully from the stereotypes, ultimately giving us portraits of very specific men and women and their very human trepidations regarding aging, attachment, self-esteem, and romance.
